What does a general contractor do?

<div>General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:<ul><li>Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew</li><li>Provide realistic cost estimates</li><li>Develop construction timelines</li><li>Ensure deadlines are met</li><li>Acquire permits as needed</li><li>Purchase supplies and materials</li></ul></div>

What questions should I ask a general contractor?

<div>Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:<ul><li>Which types of insurance do you carry?</li><li>Can you provide a list of references?</li><li>What is the expected timeline for this project?</li><li>How will my project be supervised?</li><li>Will you hire subcontractors for the job?</li><li>What is the best way to communicate changes?</li><li>Will you obtain all of the required building permits?</li></ul></div>

Should general contractors be certified or licensed?

<div>While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

I am giving a poor rating because we have been left with unfinish work in every room of our house and will have to hire others to finish the work . We first hired Klietz and sons to update a bathroom. While it wasn't perfect it suited the purpose for our elderly father. Next we hired them to...

We were delighted with the sales rep and the installer who did an outstanding job and went beyond the call of duty as our doors were odd sized so he needed to do a bit of extra carpentry. Ask for Dan and you will not be disappointed.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with this team, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, they demonstrated their professionalism and expertise. They transformed my kitchen into a brand new space that I absolutely love. The painting work was exceptional; every corner was meticulously done, and the colors they suggested perfectly complemented the overall design. They paid attention to detail, ensuring that everything looked polished and cohesive. Moreover, their communication throughout the process was outstanding. They kept me informed, listened to my ideas, and provided valuable suggestions that enhanced the final result. It was clear that they cared about delivering a kitchen that exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a reliable team that delivers high-quality work, look no further. They truly are professionals in every sense of the word! Thank you, Miguel and co"
